Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0033] In combination with Figures 2 to 7 The embodiment discloses an integrated knob display element for a toilet, which comprises a knob 1, a display screen 2 and a buckle element 6. A first recess 31 is arranged on the side surface of a toilet shell 3, a second recess 32 is arranged on the top surface of the toilet shell 3, and the first recess 31 and the second recess 32 are in communication. The display screen 2 is placed in the second recess 32, and a touch panel 21 and a disinfection button 22 are arranged on the display screen 2. The first surface 61 of the buckle element is connected with the knob 1, the second surface 62 of the buckle element is connected with the display screen 2, and the buckle element 6 is placed in the first recess 31 and is in sealed connection with the toilet shell 3.

[0034] In the integrated knob display element for a toilet of the embodiment, the knob is placed in the first recess, the display screen is placed in the second recess, and the connection and positioning between the knob and the display screen are realized through the buckle element. Thus, the connection and fixation of the knob and the display screen with the toilet shell can be realized through the connection of the buckle element with the toilet shell, so as to reduce the installation space required by the toilet shell, and reduce the complexity of the installation of the knob with the toilet and the installation of the display screen with the toilet. Meanwhile, the gap between the knob and the toilet shell and the gap between the display screen and the toilet shell are not directly communicated with the interior of the toilet shell through the first recess and the second recess, so as to reduce the possibility of the entry of external water into the toilet shell, and realize the effect of the connection and sealing between the display screen and the toilet shell and between the display screen and the toilet shell.

[0035] Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the first recess and the second recess can be adjusted adaptively according to different settings of the knob and the display screen.

[0036] In combination Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the embodiment, the display screen 2 is provided with a third clamping block 23, the sidewall of the second recess 32 is provided with a third clamping groove 34, the third clamping block 23 is clamped with the third clamping groove 34, and the stability of the connection between the display screen and the toilet shell can be improved.

[0037] In the embodiment, two third clamping blocks are provided, which are located on both sides of the display screen, so as to increase the connection points of the display screen and further improve the stability of the connection between the display screen and the toilet shell.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, the number and position of the third clamping block can be adjusted according to different stability effects required.

[0039] In addition, preferably, the two third clamping blocks 23 in the embodiment are elastic clamping blocks, and the distance between the two third clamping blocks 23 is greater than the distance between the two sidewalls of the second recess 32. In this way, by pressing the display screen 2, the two sidewalls of the second recess 32 can give the third clamping block 23 a pressure effect, so that the two third clamping blocks 23 move in the direction of approaching each other. When the third clamping block 23 moves to the position of the third clamping groove 34, under the action of the elastic force, the two third clamping blocks 23 will move away from each other and be buckled in the third clamping groove 34, realizing the positioning of the display screen and the toilet shell.

[0040] In combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the end surface of the display screen 2 is provided with a fourth clamping block 24, the end surface of the second recess 32 is provided with a fourth clamping groove 35, and the fourth clamping block 24 can be inserted into the fourth clamping groove 35, thereby further increasing the connection points between the display screen and the toilet shell and further improving the stability of the display screen position.

[0041] Further, in combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface of the second recess 32 is provided with a stepped protrusion 321, the bottom surface of the display screen 2 is provided with a stepped recess 25, and the stepped protrusion 321 can be inserted into the stepped recess 25.
